The Amish Nanny by Patricia Davids

A Family in Need

A reclusive Amish
logger, Ethan Gingerich is more confortable around his draft horses than
the orphaned niece and nephew he's taken in. Yet he's determined to
provide the children with a good, loving home. The little ones, including a defiant eight-year-old, need a proper
nanny. But when Ethan hires shy Amishwoman Clara Barkman, he never
expects her temporary position to have such a lasting hold on all of
them. Now this man of few words must convince Clara she's found her
forever home and family.

Once burned twice shy sure applies to this story, and in particular to
Ethan Gingerich, and his outlook on taking a wife. In away it also
applies to shy and horribly abused Clara Barkman, no child should have
to live under the conditions that she and her sisters endured.Now
things have changed and God has answered her prayers, they are living a
happy life with her Grandfather. Each of the girls is moving on with
their lives and one is on track to be married soon. Clara has set her
hopes of becoming the new teacher at the local Amish school, and is one
of four candidates for the job.In a horrible turn of events Ethan is
now the Uncle/Father to his brothers three children, when their parents
are tragically killed. See how he takes care of these children and
being a bachelor and his logging job. One can guess with the title of
the book, but you will never see what happens here and how these
children act. Some of their antics will shock you, and others will have
you really laughing, but don’t miss this sweet read. I really
enjoyed this fast paced Amish read, and it brought to light that all
cultures have some hidden dealings that no one wants to know about,
swept under the rug, and hard to bring out in the open.I received this book through the publisher Love Inspired and Net Galley, and was not required to give a positive review.
